Worship Arts Leadership
Michelle Russell – Worship Arts Minister
"God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:24
God began teaching me about His creativity when I was three years old as I started my first dance class in Cleveland, Ohio. Over many years of learning tap, jazz, acrobats and ballet I discovered that dance was a way to bring joy to others and to help them. I continued to learn and teach dance as a teen and as a student at Michigan State University. When I met Jesus at the age of 20, the first thing He taught me was how to pour out my heart to him in worship. Even though I was a music major in college at that time, I experienced a whole new aspect of music as I played my flute to Him and for Him. God healed my soul. I became a musical missionary for several years and then became a Registered Music Therapist.
I have been married to Robert, who is lead pastor of Celebration Church, for 30 years and we have three children, David, Jonathan and Abbie. All of the Russell family, including Robert, have danced at Celebration Church at different times over the years. When Celebration Church Dance Ministry/ Worship Arts Ministry began in 2003, I was excited to get my feet tapping again for Jesus. I have taught dance for over 20 years and continue to learn joyful ways to express my gratitude to the Lord for all that He has done for me.
I also have the honor of being the Worship Arts Minister this year. It is a constant joy and challenge to serve in this incredible ministry and to see the Holy Spirit transform our staff, students and their families.
The most important thing about me is that Jesus is the love of my life. I feel close to Him when I play my flute in worship and when I dance and long to teach others the joy of worshiping Him in Spirit and in truth. Music, dance, art and drama are very important in my life for communicating with God, displaying His creativity, sharing Jesus with others, expressing joy & pain, fighting spiritual battles, serving others, connecting with other believers and staying physically strong. My newest accomplishment and joy is that I have recently become a grandmother to Andrew Thomas and to Foster Jude. I'd be glad to show you their pictures any time.
Tapping for Jesus,
Michelle A. Russell

Karen Grisenti - Worship Arts Coordinator
Since 2005 our family has been a part of Worship Arts at Celebration. All of our children, as well as my husband and myself, have enjoyed dance classes, fellowship, and discipleship through WAM. The Lord has used WAM to bless our family, and I am excited to be a part of what He is doing through this special ministry.
My family moved to Kingsport when I was 15, and the Lord immediately plugged me into a group of friends and a church where I came to know Jesus as my Savior. After college I met my husband while serving with Youth with Mission for 2 years. We have been part of Celebration Church since 2002 and help with the Family Ministry.
For the past 16 years I have had the privilege of home schooling our children. We have been a part of several co-ops, where I have taught a variety of classes. My current favorite is Plutarch because it is so unexpectedly enjoyable. I have one son and seven daughters, ranging in age from 22 to 6. We have a small farm with dairy goats and chickens. It’s seldom quiet and never dull at our house!
As a mother, above all else I desire for my children to know the Lord personally and to love Him passionately. Through WAM I see them worshipping, hearing from the Lord, being encouraged and shown truth by faithful lovers of Jesus. I am honored to serve in this place where the Lord is growing up worshippers of Him.
Taylor Royston - Administrative Assistant
I am so excited to be apart of the Worship Arts team at Celebration! I began dance at the age of 3 and have been dancing ever since. Types of dance I have studied include ballet, tap, jazz, hiphop, contemporary, & tumbling. I have done studio dance my whole life, but when I began college, I was presented with the opportunity to be a part of the ETSU dance team throughout my four years as a student. Now that I have graduated from ETSU, I am ready to start the next chapter in my life. I am so thankful that the Lord has led me to Worship Arts and is allowing me to continue to use my love for dance as an expression of love for Him. Throughout all my life, be it good times or bad, dance has always been there for me. Dance has allowed me to express thoughts, feelings, and emotions in ways words would not allow. For me, dance is a passion and I am happy to be able to share that passion with everyone and use my talent to worship the Lord. I am eager to see how He allows us to grow in dance and in worship.

Jeanne Kashner
Hi! My name is Jeanne. And I am looking forward to getting to know YOU!
I am a believer, follower and lover of the Lord Jesus Christ. I am a wife to Jim, the best man on the planet. I am a mother of 3 + 2 inlaw, grandmother of 8 + 2 inlaw, and great grandmother of 3 (1 in heaven).
I have a garden, chickens, bees, and a cat. I love to quilt whenever I have time. I also love to hike and spend time out in God’s beautiful nature. I’m a little bit of a health nut, using essential oils, making my own deodorant, toothpaste, cleansers, etc., and trying to eat MOSTLY organic. But I can’t deny that I cheat more often than I should. (Sweets are so hard to pass up 😂)
I’ve lately been praying that God would allow me to do more for His kingdom. The call to fill this position came as a complete surprise. Not what I would have expected. But now that I think about how He’s grown my desire for community development and paired with my background in administration, my obsession with organization, AND my passion for His kingdom ??!! I am super happy to have this opportunity.
My position is Serve and Pray coordinator. I look forward to serving you in whatever way I can and I will be praying for each of you regularly. If you have special prayer requests, please don’t hesitate to bring that to my attention, either directly or by using the Prayer Request Box on the Worship Arts cart. I will be honored to pray for you or with you and you can remain anonymous or not. It’s up to you. God is good and He loves when we talk with Him.
“What does the Lord require of you, but to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8

Roderick Breem
My name is Roderick Breem. First and foremost, I am a lover of Jesus. He has gifted me with the ability to see the world in an artistic and beautiful way. I first became interested in photography while living in Florida. The sunsets were absolutely amazing. So I taught myself photography and purchased an old camera off of Ebay. Landscape photography became the focus. But then in 2016 I stumbled into real estate photography and have been doing it ever since. I have also done portraits, weddings, commercial work, drone photography and more. It is a joy to be a photographer. God has created so many beautiful parts of life that are worth capturing.

Kayla Davis
My name is Kayla Davis, and I am 21 years old. I have had a passion for worshiping the Lord through Interpretive Movement ever since I was four years old. My family attended a church in Charleston SC for many years until we moved. At that church there was a worship arts ministry and Interpretive Movement was one of their ministries. My two older sisters and my mother were on the team and I saw how they loved to worship the Lord through IM. I knew that someday I would be beside them praising the Lord. When I was five, I signed up for the team and was finally doing what I loved. I was with the IM team for four years before my family moved. I have a love for worshiping the Lord through IM and I am excited to continue to teach others. As hobbies, I like to read, paint, ballroom dance, be out in nature, and I love to knit, but my passion is to teach others to praise the Lord through Interpretive Movement.

Tabetha Davis
My name is Tabetha Davis and I'm 18 years old. This will be my first year teaching Musical Theater! I have loved being an actress with Bristol Theater, Celebration Church Theater, Crossroads Community Church, and have been on the Paramount stage many times. I am so honored to have to opportunity to turn this into a form of worship. Though I have a passion for acting, I have had a passion for dance for even longer. I am so honored to be also assisting in the Interpretive Movement class for my fourth year. I can't wait to work with some of the younger girls this semester and to be the stunt coordinator. Some of my hobbies include aerial hoop, aerial silks, trapeze, and acting. I love rising to new challenges and I'm always ready to conquer the next stunt, new acting role, or big thing, and if I can honor God through the process, it always makes what I'm doing worth it.
Oleg Diulda
I am excited to offer you the opportunity to learn how to play the drums to praise God through music! Playing this powerful instrument not only helps unlock your creative potential but also brings you closer to God, allowing you to enjoy the process and the beauty of music.
My main focus is rock, worship, and gospel. My goal is to teach you to a level where you can confidently and joyfully play the drums, enjoying this wonderful instrument and using it to praise God.
From the age of 10 to 13, I taught myself to play drums, and then I had a teacher who helped me make rapid progress. Since the age of 13, I've been playing in a worship band at church and continue this ministry to this day. Over the years, I've gained extensive experience performing at Christian conferences and recording music, including an album with the band Gloryquake. I know how important a good mentor is, and I am ready to help you grow faster.
I work with students aged 13 and older. In our lessons, we will focus on proper hand technique, coordination of hands and feet, and, over time, we will learn to read music and play from sheet music. I will also teach you how to pick out song parts by ear and help you learn any song you’d like.
If you want to learn to play the drums and use this talent to glorify God, I would be happy to help you achieve that goal!

Megan Grisenti
Hello! My name is Megan Grisenti and I am eighteen years old. I grew up on a goat farm and I have six sisters and one brother. I have also volunteered at The Exchange Place Historical Site in Kingsport, TN. I have attended Celebration Church my whole life, and I have been dancing since I was two years old. I have really enjoyed tap especially. I tapped for a few years when I was younger, but I have been taking tap for five years and I have loved every minute. I look forward to being able to help others discover a passion for dancing for the Lord through tap just as I did. Another activity I have enjoyed is piano. I have taken piano for ten years and I am so excited to teach piano lessons this fall! Since I was 11 years old I have been learning sign language. I started in a song interpreting class and I am now pursuing certification in ASL (American Sign Language) at Virginia Highlands Community College. I have assisted in sign language classes at the church and I am thrilled to be teaching Sign Language as well this year!!!! So excited to see everyone as classes begin this fall, I look forward to building a relationship with them and helping them grow in their relationship with Jesus.

Reagan Hamelryck
I am so excited to be a part of the worship arts staff this year! This past year I was the art teacher for a local elementary school teaching pre-k through 5th grade art classes. I have a bachelor's degree in studio art from ETSU with a minor in education as well as my Master’s of arts in teaching from ETSU. I have taught art for 3 years in our public school systems. I have also taught several art classes for Celebration Church and classical conversations homeschooling. In college I focused my art career in Ceramics and enjoyed making functional serving vessels. As an Applachian artist I hope to capture the beauty of my community in every work of art I create. Most of my work revolves around the theme of human connectedness. It is my belief that our world can be a dark place at times. Art is my tiny contribution of bringing light back in. My greatest sense of joy comes from my knowledge of my Creator. My goal is to glorify Him in every aspect of my life and my hope is that my art reflects that. I love that art is a powerful form of communication that gives people a chance to share their voice in times where words may fail and as a teacher I hope to give my students the tools they need in order to share their voice. I am a firm believer that everyone can develop art skills through practice and I try to show my students that their abilities are connected to their effort.
I am 25 years old and I grew up in Bristol Tennessee. I attended Celebration Church for 13 years. In college I met my fiance and started attending Bridwell Heights Presbyterian with his family. I have been a part of Bridwell Heights for about 6 years now. Growing up in church I always knew the gospel and thought I was saved; however, it wasn’t until my freshman year of college when I set off on a goal to read the entire Bible that God changed my heart. During this year God revealed to me who He was, who I am, and why I so desperately needed the gospel. That year God saved me. I am so thankful God opened the doors for me to be a part of the worship arts ministries in this season of my life, and I look forward to teaching my students how we as artists can glorify the greatest artist in all that we make.

Robin Henson
The Lord instilled in me a passion for music that has existed since I can remember. I sang my first solo in church at age 4. Throughout the years, I've had opportunities to sing a variety of styles of music including classical, broadway, choral, country, and more. I also love to sing in other languages. I graduated from Liberty University, and have a Bachelor of Science degree in Multidisciplinary Studies: Christian Counseling/Special Education/Music. I have experience in vocal coaching as well as directing young adults' and children's choirs. As I began to grow in my walk with the Lord, He gave me a desire to focus on worship music as I longed to sing to Him and to lead others to Him. Currently, I help lead worship at Celebration Church and at various events when the Lord allows. God uses music in different ways: prayer/form of communication to Him, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing, as a creative outlet, and more. I'm grateful to the Lord for the healing He's brought about in my own life through music.
I'm currently available for vocal coaching (any age). While our music focus will be Christ centered, I am beyond happy to focus on different vocal styles. I can also work with you on harmonizing if you wish! I welcome children and adults with special needs (different abilities). Children with special needs such as Autism may struggle to communicate. However, songs often speed up the vocabulary process and oftentimes, a child may sing before speaking. No doubt, God uses music in so many ways! I look forward to working with you!
Psalm 100:1-2- Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into His presence with singing!

I was raised in the Tri-cities area by my father who was a faithful preacher and my dedicated mother who homeschooled me and my two sisters. Growing up I enjoyed crafting, drawing, painting and creating. In my teen and young adult years, I babysat, nannied and worked in child care and youth ministries. I have a Bachelor of Arts from Lexington Baptist Bible College. I also enjoyed a short career in mural painting and drawing portraits. Then in 2010, I obtained my dream career and became a mother. Now I spend my days homeschooling my three blessings, creating and crafting with them. I began sewing in my young adult years. I learned from my mother and online tutorials. After becoming a mother I began sewing baby items and that is when a true love of sewing ignited in me. This led me to start Sew and Serve in 2018 at Celebration Church. It is my heart and passion to teach sewing (SKILL), God’s heart (SCRIPTURE) and using our talents to minister to others (SERVING). “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” I Peter 4:10.

Jennifer Ogden
I was born and raised in El Paso, Texas, and moved to the Tri-Cities area in 2017. I have been happily married to my husband Mark for over 20 years, and we have four amazing children! I started taking ballet at the age of 3 at Barbara Driscoll's School of Ballet. When I was a little older, I trained with Ann Van Norman Gavit at The Ballet Studio and later was trained in both ballet and modern dance as a member of the modern dance company at International Dance Theatre. I was also part of a yearly dance program called The Holiday Gift Program. Our company would take our performances to those who could not attend at a theater, such as nursing home residents and women living at the shelter for battered women. For a short time, I was part of a liturgical dance group that spread the gospel through dance. That was a life-changing experience for me. Contact: redchihuahua77@hotmail.
Emma Olinger
Hello everyone! My name is Emma Olinger, and I am a sophomore pursuing a degree in Elementary Education at ETSU. I was homeschooled from an early age and graduated from HomeLife Academy in 2023. During this time, I fell in love with art and found it as a beautiful way to explore God’s creation. I attend Celebration Church regularly and participated in the Worship Arts program when I was a child. That experience helped to strengthen my relationship with God and grow as a person. I strive to spread the love of God to all my students. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, playing pickleball & volleyball, reading, and volunteering. I am thrilled for this opportunity to work with the students and encourage their love for art, while worshipping the Lord. A verse I love to live by is “Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.”- Psalm 31:24

Suzanne Queen
I have been involved with music since 1st grade. I was that weird kid that fell in love with music because of elementary school recorder class. Which my family did not enjoy, so they had me give up the recorder for the piano and begin lessons. As I entered middle school, my instrument of choice became drums. I performed in the concert bands and even learned the drum set for the 8th grade jazz band. I continued concert and jazz band throughout high school and of course adding marching band and indoor winter drumline. I had the privilege of having band directors and drumline instructors that are well known and still recognized today in the drumline world. I double-majored in Music Education and Religion at Carson Newman for 3 years and was in all the bands, ensembles, and lessons I could manage. I wanted to be a Band Director, but God had another direction for my life, namely 16 years of marriage and home-educating our four children these last 12 years. Several years ago, I performed in and helped lead the unique rhythm sections of Kingsport Ballet's Centennial performance "Seeds of Change". And a couple years ago I discovered the Melodica, which is so fun, and it has rekindled my desire to teach music. My children and I have participated in Worship Arts for more than 5 years and I look forward to what the Lord allows me to offer this year.
Justin Rayna
Justin Rayna is a dynamic and award-winning Christian composer, producer, performer, coach, and educator. He has not only served as a drummer for praise and worship teams in Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Virginia, and Tennessee, but is currently the percussion director at Providence Academy in Johnson City and has coached tumbling, gymnastics, and circus arts for over 20 years. Utilizing a Progressive Tumbling Program that he designed himself after years of experience, Justin has been the tumbling program director for Louisiana Athletics and East Tennessee Cheer & Gymnastics.
Largely auto-didactic with his own skill development, Justin's coaching training includes years of working for high powered gymnastics gyms like Artistic Sports Academy Plus in Harrisburg, PA under the (then) state chairman for men's gymnastics, Barry Mattern, and other world-class coaches such Greg Kucera and the 1980 Seoul Korea Olympics All-Around Gold Medalist Vladimir Artemov. Formerly a USAG certified coach, Justin also has a collegiate diploma in Physical Fitness from Ashworth University (online) and is AACCA Spirit Safety Certified.
But more importantly than his earthly credentials, of the five-fold ministry outlined in Ephesians 4:11, "teaching" is Justin's gifting and calling. Honoring the Lord through the use of this gifting as well as being obedient to the call is Justin's primary focus and motivation for reaching generations by instilling discipline and skills in a manner that is governed by Biblical principles and the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Being a creative, the Worship Arts Ministry has provided an outlet for witnessing through the use of performative and artistic gifts. Cultivating those gifts through Worship Arts programs has led to Spirit-filled, full-time career paths that are ripe with opportunities to witness throughout the process. And while every task can have a toll that it takes, the peace that coincides with even the most difficult tasks is one that "passes understanding" when aligned with God's will and design for your life.
"Pray without ceasing," the Bible says, and that ongoing conversation with Jesus is the unifying thread of all my days and the choices within each of those days. Some days that conversation looks like audible words departing my mouth. Other days the conversation is simply understood through hearing the music He creates through me as I listen back. And some days the conversation is jumping backwards over my own head in celebration of what He has made me. "Whatever [I] do, [I] do it all to the glory of God."
Kyle Sacculo
I am more than amazed and excited to bring the art of the sword to the Worship Arts Ministry as a way to build Godly character. Ever since beginning my training in this sport, I have wanted to pour into young people to prepare them for the challenges of life. The synchronization of the arts with practical spiritual applications has been a lifelong passion and I am excited to share my skills to the betterment of those in attendance.
Riley Sparks
My name is Riley Sparks. I am 15 years old, and this is my second year assisting the Worship Arts Ministry. I love theater, and I have been blessed to do many theatrical productions over the last few years. In 2023 I discovered my love for the game of chess. Chess quickly became my favorite game, and I would always play chess in my free time. I began to study the game of chess through online videos, books, and playing many chess games. Chess can be used to teach many important attributes that we as Christians can use in our lives. It can teach players humility, patience, and strategizing among many other qualities. I always love the ability to minister to others, and getting to use the game of chess to share the gospel is something really special to me.
Nancy Strickler
I am very excited to have the opportunity to work with the Worship Arts program and its students. I am especially thankful to be back working in the arts after a 10-year hiatus. I am a Kingsport native and began my journey in the arts at 5 years old taking ballet and tap classes. I continued my dance experience taking classes and performing with the Academy of Dance Arts, Studio One, Centre for the Performing Arts, Kingsport InterCity Ballet Company, and Hannah’s School of dance. I have experience with ballet, tap, jazz and competition dance. The highlight of my time in the arts is expanding my dance skills through 15 years of performing and teaching color guard (flags, rifles, and sabres) at a variety of award-winning high school and independent programs.
Although the arts have been a big part of my life, my favorite title is “Aunt” and I am proud to be an aunt to 1 niece and 7 nephews, many of whom I’ve been able to watch grow through Celebration’s Worship Arts Program. During the day, I get the privilege of providing therapy to help children heal from the trauma they’ve experienced in their lives, and on the weekends, you will often find me working in Celebration’s nursery loving on your infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
My desire in teaching is to share with your students a love for movement and performing, using it to express emotion in healthy ways and worship God with all of themselves while sharing it with others.

My family has been a part of the Worship Arts Ministry and Celebration Church for the past six years. It has been a joy to see significant growth in both talent and our walk with the Lord through many dance, music, and art classes. I came to know Jesus as my savior while in college and have helped with various missions and mercy ministries throughout the years. For the past 10 years I have homeschooled my children and have had the opportunity to teach several different art and craft classes to children of many ages. Some of my favorite activities are watercolor painting, crochet, knitting, and embroidery. I consider it to be a great privilege and responsibility to serve in this ministry and I am incredibly thankful for it.
